The generator went from experiencing total destructive interference to
experiencing zero interference. Of course, the entire purpose of
inserting the circulator is to cause the generator to see 50 ohms as a
load impedance.

TV ghosting experiments will verify that the signal being dissipated
in the circulator load resistor has made a round trip from the
generator to the end of the N(1/2WL) stub and back to the circulator.
Please don't insult our intelligence by arguing that is not a steady-
state condition.
